    Expecting Someone Taller by Tom Holt
    Save:

    "Expecting Someone Taller" by Tom Holt is a humorous fantasy novel that brings the action of Wagner's 'Ring' cycle into the present day. The story follows Malcolm Fisher, a trainee auctioneer in Somerset, who becomes the bearer of the Ring of the Nibelungs after running over its previous owner, an ice giant. The book cleverly retells the mythology of The Ring with a modern twist, incorporating characters like Wotan, Alberich, and the Rhinemaidens in a light-hearted and humorous manner. The writing style is conversational, irreverent, and self-depreciating, making the legendary information accessible and entertaining to a broad audience.

    After a particularly unrewarding interview with his beloved, Malcolm was driving home along a dark, winding country lane when he ran over a badger. He stopped the car and got out to inspect the damage...

    Castle Perilous - Castle Perilous by John DeChancie
    Save:

    Castle Perilous is a giant castle with 144,000 rooms that are portals to other worlds. An assortment of odd characters find themselves in this besieged castle in an alternate universe, trying to figure out the confusing rules. The characters are flat, a bit boring, and too accepting of their fate, such as Gene just accepting Snowy, a very hairy abominable snowman. The plot involves the castle being under siege by the jilted lover of the castle's owner, while the Lord of the castle, Incarnadine, strives to prevent its destruction and ensure the safety of those within.

    The book is a humorous fantasy story full of unexpected twists and turns, with a concept where the universes are aspects created by the nature of the castle itself. The story follows Gene's journey through different portals, encountering strange creatures and facing the threat of the castle's disappearance, which would lead to the destruction of all connected universes.
